HEYING'S DRUG STORE ANAHEIM LADYBUG HIS SPECIALTY The scope of the ladybug, which is one of the types of insect warriors collected by the state, is being enlarged by M. S. Smith, superintendent of the state insectary, under the direction of State Horticultural Commissioner A. J. Cook, with the result that this year the ladybug is making a fight on hop and grain aphis as well as the melon aphis. "This year we have collected nearly twice as many ladybugs as ever before in the history of the insectary," said Dr. Cook today. "The total number, roughly calculated, was 75,000,000. "Last year we collected 43,000,000, which was the largest amount up to that time." ANAHEIM GAZETTE IN AND ABOUT COUNTY It Cost Him $10 Ernest Marchbank of Artesia pleaded guilty to stealing a woman’s $10 hat at Bay City, and he was fined $10, which amount he paid. Marchbank and two other Artesians, all about 21 years of age, were arrested by Deputy Sheriff Stacey after he chased their buggy in an automobile and received a bad fall in the chase. Marchbank said the theft was a kind of an escapade and not a theft for profit. Begins Work on Road Contractor D. A. Dontanville of Los Angeles has commenced work on the paving of three miles of good roads on Orangethorpe avenue, a mile south of Fullerton. A ten-horse plow is now doing the grading. This work is done by the county. Three miles of streets have just been paved in Fullerton by the city nd when other work now under way is completed that city will have ten miles of paved streets at a cost of over $125,000. Japs Are Busy Two more articles of incorporation have been filed by Japanese, who by incorporating will avoid the effects of the anti-alien law. Three Los Angeles Japanese and T. Omori of Santa Ana have $500 each in the Golden Land Corporation, capitalized for $10,000, organized so that it can do almost any kind of business under the sun, whether in Japan or California. A copy of the articles of the Mutual Founding Company, with three Los Angeles Japs as incorporators and $20,000 capital stock and $30 subscribed, has been filed.

Boggs, of Los Angeles, has brought suit in the Superior Court against her husband, Henry M. Boggs, of Buena Park, for $125 a month alimony for her support and the support of three minor children. She alleges that her husband's property is worth $50,000. She states that by misrepresentation she was led to sign an agreement of property division. She wants that agreement set aside as she says her husband thereby gets three times as much as she. Findings and Decree County Clerk Williams on Saturday received findings and a decree from Judge Curtis D. Wilbur of Los Angeles in the Des Granges action in which the decision of the Los Angeles jurist was in favor of the sons and daughter of Mrs. Josephine Des Granges and against their mother. The property concerned lies at Fullerton and Placentia and is worth about $100,000. This property was formerly owned by Otto Des Granges, Sr., who died on June 24, 1889. Mrs. Des Granges asserted in her complaint that the property was hers to dispose of as she wished. Joseph P. and John C. Des Granges and Mrs. Adah P. Crall established, as the findings and decree show, that their mother's interest is a life interest only and that the title in fee to properties described in the action lies with them. Brings Suit For Damages Alleging that Floyd Fritts and his wife are responsible for the death of their son, Bensesla De Dominguez and his wife Rita this week brought suit for $3,500 damages against Mr. and Mrs. Fritts. Paul Dominguez was killed on East Chapman street at El Modena about two weeks ago. He was riding north from Hewes Park and his motorcycle collided with a motorcycle ridden by Bean Crop Being Harvested A large proportion of the blackeye bean crop is being harvested. A good deal of the crop has been cut and the vines piled. There are about 4,000 acres of blackeyes on the San Joaquin ranch to 17,000 acres of limas. The blackeyes turned out better than was expected earlier in the season, producing about two-thirds of a normal crop. The lima bean pods are well filled now, and though the present hot spell is not at all desired, still the beans have stood up well under the heat. There has been a good breeze on the big ranch valley, and the weather while warm has not been the killing dry weather feared by bean growers. Blaze at Newport By flames that broke out about 3 o'clock Sunday morning the East Newport Town Company office, the Gansert building occupied by N. E. Witherspoon's confectionery store, and the East Newport Cafe building were destroyed. By hard, daring work the beach firemen saved the East Newport Town Company store, adjoining the office, and the East Newport garage, back of the cafe. Loss: East Newport Town Company office, owned by that company, $300, partially covered by insurance. Gansert building, owned by Mrs. Fred Gansert, $1,500, partially covered by insurance; stock of goods owned by N. E. Witherspoon, $600, carrying $500 insurance. East Newport Cafe, occupied by Mrs. J. E. Cooley's cafe, $2,000, with $1,500 insurance. The fire started in the front part of the Witherspoon store, in the rear of which Mr. and Mrs. Witherspoon were sleeping. It is conjectured that mice and matches were the cause of the conflagration. About 3 o'clock the occupants of the rear of the store were awakened by the smell of smoke and the crackling of the fire. The couple eschewed have $500 each in the Golden Land Corporation, capitalized for $10,000, organized so that it can do almost any kind of business under the sun, whether in Japan or California. A copy of the articles of the Mutual Founding Company, with three Los Angeles Japs as incorporators and $20,000 capital stock and $30 subscribed, has been filed. Site of Hospital For Insane Orange county is an aspirant for the location of the new Southern California hospital for the insane. Superintendent Nellis of the Whittier Industrial School, Dr. Reilly of the Patton hospital for the insane, Assemblyman Cram of San Bernardino and a representative of the state engineer’s office, one day last week inspected a tract of land in the Old Newport section, the Stevens tract of 400 acres. They were shown by W. A. Zammerman, M. M. Crookshank, John Beatty, G. W. Minter and Horace McPhee. The state wants 300 acres with water—or at least land on which water can be developed—and is willing to pay about $300 an acre. Riverside, Ventura, Orange, Santa Barbara and other places are after the location of this new state institution. Fullerton's New Water System The new water wells at Fullerton, connected up with the mains, add greatly to the present supply. It will probably be several weeks before water is turned into the new city reservoir, which will hold over 1,000,000 gallons. The reservoir will be modern in every way and will have a partition through the enter so that one-half of the reservoir can be cleaned without interfering with the other half. An up-to-date pumping plant is being installed at the wells south of town, the pumps being duplicated so that if there should be a break in one the other can be used, thus assuring a water supply at all times. A bungalow is being erected at the plant for the engineer and it is understood that Mr. Battie, who fills that position now, will have charge of the new plant. Injured in Runaway P. D. Brady, a rancher living about two miles east of Garden Grove, was seriously injured Monday when a team he was driving became frightened at a passing automobile and ran away. Brady had started out from home with a load of hay and had only driven about a quarter of a mile when an automobile came down the road frightening a young horse which he was driving and causing the team to run. Brady finally lost control of the horses and had nearly succeeded in jumping off the load of hay when a part of the motorcycle struck him below the right terrace only and that the title to properties described in the action lies with them. Brings Suit For Damages Alleging that Floyd Fritts and his wife are responsible for the death of their son, Bensesla De Dominguez and his wife Rita this week brought suit for $3,500 damages against Mr. and Mrs. Fritts. Paul Dominguez was killed on East Chapman street at El Modena about two weeks ago. He was riding north from Hewes Park and his motorcycle collided with a motorcycle ridden by Fritts and his wife at the East Chapman crossing. Dominguez’s skull was broken, and he died about two hours after the accident. The complaint, filed by Attorney A. J. Green of Los Angeles, asserts that Fritts’ machine was going 35 miles an hour and that it was driven carelessly and negligently and that the accident occurred by no fault of Paul Dominguez. Paul was 17 years of age. Four-Story Block For Santa Ana Monday tenants of the Spurgeon Realty Company in the half-block on the west side of Sycamore street between Third and Fourth streets, were notified to move within 30 days, that the company may begin the construction of a four-story building. This will be the first structure in Santa Ana more than three stories high. The Spurgeon Realty Company, which possesses the properties formerly owned by W. H. Spurgeon, founder of Santa Ana, also has half the frontage on Fourth street between Sycamore and Broadway, on the south side of the street. The new building will occupy that frontage and half a block on Sycamore. The old fire hall next to the post-office is to be moved and a one-story brick building will be put up by the company immediately, at the northwest corner of Third and Sycamore. The improvements are to cost $100,000. Packing House at La Habra Development of the citrus industry in La Habra district has been so marked that the old packing plants have become antiquated and much too small to handle the crops. Consequently the La Habra Citrus Association has just let the contract for the erection of modern buildings to house the packing industry. The principal new structure will have dimensions of 80x157 feet and will be built over a concrete basement. Three smaller buildings, to take care of the box plant, storage and offices, will form a part of the plant, of which Frank Proud will be manager. La Habra until recently was looked upon as only an agricultural center, where celery, cabbage and similar products were the best money producers. ATTENTION!

Ellott, 405 East Center street. two miles east of Garden Grove, was seriously injured Monday when a team he was driving became frightened at a passing automobile and ran away. Brady had started out from home with a load of hay and had only driven about a quarter of a mile when an automobile came down the road frightening a young horse which he was driving and causing the team to run. Brady finally lost control of the horses and had nearly succeeded in jumping off the load of hay when a part of the wagon struck him just below the right knee. He fell to the ground and when he attempted to rise found that his leg had been broken. He was carried to his home where he has been resting as easily as could be expected. The wagon was damaged to some extent but the horses were not injured in any way. Two Years For Bad Check Robert M. Elliott, graduate of the Salt Lake high school, two years a college student in mining engineering, once appointed to West Point, was sentenced to two years in Folsom for forging the name of I. C. Stearns to a check for $25. He told Judge West that his only reason for resorting to the use of a bad check was that he might get some money to keep up appearances with a girl to whom he was engaged, and her people. The girl lives in Los Angeles. Elliott is 31 years old. He says he was fired out of college for playing poker, and was appointed to West Point, but failed to pass the examinations. For several years he has been wandering from place to place, and though well educated has held no positions other than those of a laborer. For three weeks he worked on I. C. Stearn's ranch at San Juan Capistrano. Elliott passed the bad check on July 10 and was arrested five minutes later by Constable Jackson. La Habra Citrus Association has just let the contract for the erection of modern buildings to house the packing industry. The principal new structure will have dimensions of 80x157 feet and will be built over a concrete basement. Three smaller buildings, to take care of the box plant, storage and offices, will form a part of the plant, of which Frank Proud will be manager. La Habra until recently was looked upon as only an agricultural center, where celery, cabbage and similar products were the best money producers. With the coming into bearing of the citrus and walnut groves the country around is rapidly changing its aspect into a horticultural district and property values have increased four-fold. Sentenced For Contempt Isaac W. Cliver was on Tuesday sent to jail for five days for contempt of court. He failed to obey the order of Judge West that he pay $5 a week to his former wife Lydia Cliver, for the support of his two minor children. Cliver formerly lived in Santa Ana. After the separation in the family he was ordered to pay alimony. Five or six years ago he went to jail on contempt proceedings, having failed to obey the order of the court. Cliver is now married again. He was brought to Santa Ana from San Bernardino by a deputy sheriff. He declared that he had spent $35 for clothing for the children, and said one reason why he had not paid the money to his former wife was that he was afraid it would not be used for the children. "You preferred to do it that way rather than follow the order of the court," said Judge West. Cliver said he had been out of work a good deal of the time. The judge said that he was convinced that Cliver had purposely neglected paying any money to Mrs. Cliver, and court ordered him to jail for five days for contempt.
